Charged EVs | IoTecha wins $27-million grant for grid-friendly EV charging in California

V2G specialist IoTecha has been awarded a grant of as much as $27 million by the California Vitality Fee’s (CEC’s) Clear Transportation Program.

Throughout Part I of this initiative, IoTecha will deploy a community of 120 new EV sensible charging stations at single- or multi-family properties. For Part II, IoTecha intends to increase this community to 12,000 properties. In every section, IoTecha will prioritize deprived communities inside utility territories the place dynamic charges can be found.

This initiative might be enabled by IoTecha’s IoT.ON platform, a vertically built-in, modular and customizable sensible charging platform that’s at the moment powering 1000’s of EV chargers and producing billions of telemetry messages in Europe and North America. Cloud companies supplied by this platform assist the most recent variations of ISO/IEC 15118 and OCPP, which allow new options equivalent to Plug & Cost and bidirectional V2G charging.

IoTecha says its platform could be applied in varied methods and with differentiated function units, permitting companions to deploy merchandise tailor-made to fulfill numerous market wants. It’s interoperable with nearly all EVs, together with light-duty autos, vehicles and college buses.

“The EV paradigm will shift because of VG1 and VG2, which in the end allow EVs to function a supply of energy and grid stability,” stated Oleg Logvinov, CEO of IoTecha. “A sensible EV ecosystem primarily based on open requirements and robust cybersecurity protocols may also help to generate worth for California’s energy grid for all communities.”
